Food Connection

The Food Connection makes market connections between food businesses in the Rogue Valley. We host an annual gathering designed to foster collaboration between farmers, ranchers, chefs, retailers and processors committed to expanding and strengthening regional and sustainable agriculture.

Our goal is to grow the supply and demand for locally produced food by bringing food businesses together for a day of learning, discussion and networking. The gathering focuses on creating and sustaining relationships between growers and buyers. It offers participants an opportunity to learn, address challenges and make connections.

The Food Connection is held annually; to receive an invitation, please contact us.
